<PRE><B>Question 266122</B>
By measuring the amount of time it takes a component of a product to move from one workstation to the next, an engineer has estimated that the standard deviation is 4.0 seconds. 
Answer each of the following (show all work):
(A) How many measurements should be made in order to be 95% certain that the maximum error of estimation will not exceed 1 second?
n = [1.96*4/1]^2 = 61.47
Round up to n = 62
------------------------------ 

(B) What sample size is required for a maximum error of 2 seconds? 
thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
n = [1.96*4/2]^2 = 15.37
Round up to n = 16
=================================
